This post, even your nickname has struck the chords of my heartstrings.
Since a child I've had dreams and visions of wild horses. I began obsessively drawing them at a very, early age; their wild manes flowing fiercely against the wind, the strength of their muscular torsos propelling them forward, their hooves pounding and nostrils snorting, ever in their battle to retain their freedom.
Please don’t apologize for fifty-seven years; so eloquently brought to light by our friend, Pat B, you are the child, but appear to be corralled within a truth that your more domesticated herd-mates have sir come to accept, while you my friend, are wildly fighting to break free.
I welcome you to this family of wild-hearts and dedicate my most recent post to you, because your post was my inspiration for sharing the corral that I was once trapped in and broke free from.
Ms. 57, if you are offended by the first entry, fear not, I am not a preacher…..please continue to read on.

Families do that. Happens every day. Same incident, different memory.
Fifty-seven is only a number. Each of us is a three-part package: At some point one is stronger than the other. You are the child, the adult, and the parent, all at once. If you haven't heard of John Gray, it might help to look for his books "The Inner Child" or something like that. Reading it can be healing. :)

unfortunately - we can't pick our family
they pick us. my father was verbally abusive and when he died I cried - but i don't shed anymore tears for him. my sisters feel tremendous guilt because they ignored him during the "dementia" years - but I don't. he was mean and cruel. he never ever told me he loved me - so screw him. i tell my kids i love them all of the time and I don't say mean things to them. i reversed it. one thing is - would you remain friends with someone if they treated you this way? so why let your family? be strong and positive.

Be strong, wildhorses. Don't allow the pettiness of others, the denial
umbrella offered by your siblings, to corrupt you and your life. To thine own self be true. And welcome to Blogit. We're all one big typographic error here, just awaiting a little editorial encouragement...
